The question is: should PYTHONHOME override the work of
relocate_gdb_directory? My answer is: No. Auxillary answer: We can
create a GDB_PYTHONHOME if needed, too.

Really? You keep dismissing the model where everything is managed by
a GNU/Linux distribution, and this has been a regular source of
fustration.  Some users, myself included (and I am not speaking as
an AdaCore employee), routinely install software from sources, and
I keep everything separate from the system installs, because it's
easier to manage.  Are you going to deny that this is a legitimate
situation?
